- It could have been otherwise.
We have been created good by the good God. But we have been captured by sin, death, and slavery. In Jesus, God has rescued us and transferred us into His Kingdom, His family.

Father Mike has an anointed, incredible way, through his sermons, to hit right in the heart. Every time.
This is the most powerful sermon I've ever heard. Thank you so much Fr Mike
God bless you, Fr. Mike! You always give powerful homilies.
Amen🙏 Praise.God! Thank you, Fr Mike.
Thank you Fr. Mike. I don't know what kind of tears are falling right now but I'm really grateful for your homily. It brings me even closer to God. Thank you
"AMEN-AMEN"-: Please Dear God Resue me.💪😇✝️🙏🙏☦️😇💪🕊
I just recently saw a utube video about Fr. Mike-and his life. The interviewer, asked him how long does it take to write a homily, and Fr. Mike said 9-20 hours! His homilies are like hearing God . Thank u!
Wow, that’s incredible. Do you remember what video it was
If you do, can you please leave the link here in the comments. Thanks !!
It’s Fr, Mike Schmitz with Chris Stefani. There r 2 of them. Love, peace and joy!

Fr. Mike Origin Story
✨✝️✨🦁✨🐑✨🕊️ 💜✝️💜THANK YOU Father Mike
Thank you for this homily! Powerful and insightful as always!
Fr Mike Schmidtz, I have been watching and listening to you for years. You are an amazing person and priest and you inspire me each day. I lost my husband tragically on May 29, 2022. He had PTSD from Vietnam. He took his own life. I was in the next room. God helps me get through each day since then. My younger sister died in 1975 in car accident as well. But I am getting through with Jesus,s help. I live in Ct. I am 70. My wish is someday I will get to see you in person before my time on earth is done. Thank you again, Father. Kathy Tyler
Word.
Kerygma! Kerygma! Kerygma! What's the Kerygma?.......Creation, the Fall, God's Rescue Mission, Christ Jesus' Triumphant AND, vitally, our response! "Otherwise" we will not live in heaven, back in right relationship with our Blesed Lord, forever! God bless Father Mike, my brother Father Mark, and all holy priests of God!
I love the blunders. It lightens thinks up. I need to laugh at times in such a serious world that makes me cry sometimes. Thank you for the inspiration, hope and blunders. Little did you know blunders could be blessings! 🤣
Today's message was needed and received for my husband and I!
❤🎉
Nice thanks from all of us
Today at our parish of St Mark the Evangelist in Southwest Ranches Fl, on the Feast of Christ the King, we now have our Tabernacle front and center - and It is the 330th day of the year - John 3:30 He must increase I must decrease - the glory be to God -TGBTG- this was our joy today - our Lord loves us so much and today we are grateful that now in our church our Lord is on the altar where he belongs- thank you Fr Mike 😊🙏❤️
I have a vision of Mary weeping tears of joy and relief after finding the boy Jesus in the temple.
Thank you so much Fr Mike. My 8 year old needs to hear your voice before he sleeps. You are truly God sent. May God bless you abundantly for your love for His church ❤
It could have been otherwise but it wasn’t ,Great Homily Father Mike..
Thank you Father Mike and blessings to you for this very powerful homily. It brought tears to my eyes.
Such a wonderful message! I feel I was rescued from an abusive marriage. I am single, but am happy that God helped me. My life is so much better, alone, but with God, all things are possible. ❤️🙏🏼
Jesus is an ambush predator..so brilliant. thank you Fr. ❤❤❤🎉
Thank you very much Father Mike. I am doing RCIA right now, and your videos answered so many questions I had coming from a Protestant background. As a man, I salute to you for the sacrifice you make in order to be a priest. God bless.
God bless you sir!! You are not only on the path to salvation but the church will teach you how to win the souls of all that you love. Because of your decision, many will be heaven that may not have been if you didn’t hear Jesus call. I know this because I have seen it. Use all the tools the church gives you and may God bless and guide your steps. I’m so happy for you. I will pray for you.
This homily was powerful. I am newly diagnosed with cancer. I believe that the opportunity to listen to Father Mike and this community throughout BIY in 2022 and CIY in 2023 was a gift to strengthen my faith for His will, whatever it may be.
May our Lord keep you safe
Prayers for your healing… in Jesus Name… Yes and Amen!!! ❤️🩹🙏❤️
Prayers for strength and healing.
Prayers for you and your family.
Prayers for healing
Thankyou Fr.Mike...Prayers and Blessings.
Thank you for this Fr Mike. As always, a blessing ♡
Father Mike, you have been a gift to me from God. Your messages are priceless.
Feel better!
Excellent homily. Listened twice. Thank you, Father 😇
I've been a Christian 45 years and never heard the Gospel explained so vividly! I AM that person who dreaded going home and always wished for a happy family and belonging. Our story isn't over yet! God bless and protect Father Mike!
Incredible! Thank You Fr Mike. God Bless You Always. ✝️🙏🌹
I feel sometimes I am nursed by the eucharist, not everytime, but sometimes when I am weak or tired. Then unexpected and strange thoughts come to my head :)), like I don't have to react to everything, I don't have to pretend to be smart when I'm not really sure what I'm talking about and I don't have to tell everyone about my trauma under all circumstances and there will be no harm :) in fact, I can stay completely silent and be ok.
I can resonate… the Eucharist is Powerful for mind, heart and soul Healing! ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹🙏🙏🙏
Wise learning.
Best homily ever …thank you
This Homily is a masterpiece 😮
Thank you Fr. Mike - this one has really ministered to me. ♥🙏🙏
God Bless You Fr Mike 🙏
Thank You Heavenly Father for giving Yourself for us, for rescuing us everyday, and for giving us so precious priests!!!!!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I LOVE YOU LORD AND I OWE YOU EVERYTHING
Thank you Father
Fr. Mike, your homilies are so Transparent. You let the word of God pass through our hearts and light our minds with Truth, Love and Mercy. They are unequivocal. they are inspiring, and full of Hope.
Thank you, FR. Mike. Praying for you🙏🙏🙏🙏
God bless you!
What a blessing. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I have very dear friends of mine who when through a similar scenario at -1:46 I’m the video. I am a new Christian and I am in the RCIA program. My very dear friends are engaged and they lost their baby of 8 months on Friday due to late term complications from Turner syndrome. I prayed to Jesus more times than I can count for the salvation of this little one. Please pray for little Merida Kay, and for her parents and family❤
May the angels welcome her into Paradise and comfort and console all loved ones esp dear parents.
I will❤🙏🏼
I thought the same when I saw Diego Velazquez's painting of the crucifixion for the first time, if you zoom in and look closely you can see a subtle smirk on Jesus's face and when I remembered the line from a song that goes; the secret of the Hanged Man, the smile on His lips that simply made me giggle.
But ambush predator is something I would have never come up with. It's epic.
I pledge allegiance to the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob
The next morning after hearing this homily I get a text from Hallow about praying with Liam Neeson 😂
Nice product placement Father Mike! 🙏
Beautiful sermon 👏👏👏🙏
Thanks!
Thank you Father Mike. I am reading through Fr Ricardo's book right now, after listening to the Rescue Challenge on Hallow. So much good knowledge to come out of all of three these things ❤🙏
Please pray for my family and myself going through tons tyvm amen 🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜
Thank you for rescuing us, God. Amen 💙💙💙
"Humanity is the cheese but his divinity is the bar that flames down crushing the neck of the animal" wow
Thank you, Father Mike!
Awesome homily as always. Though the best Christmas movie ever made is "National Lampoons Christmas Vacation" - IMO 😁
I prayed for that. That the man who oversaw my joining the church would take me home to his family.
Thank you Father Mike
You have a way of reaching us 🙏
Heavenly Father, I ask that you touch each of us listening. Help us to pray together for Your will 🙏
…
Wow. One of your best Fr Mike! 💙🙏✝️
You are a Saint. God bless you 🙏🏻 ❤️
Thank you Fr. Mike
Thank you
I like how he shares Gods word, thank u, ill be listening n looking forward to hearing God's word..
this is the Truth. Im so happy!!!!!!!
Breathtaking!
Amen!
I love how this video starts.
Be a witness to share and live out the gospel. The good news we have a Savior Jesus Christ. To many knuckleheads in my community live in vanity, selfishness and pride. Exactly the opposite.
Thank you Fr.
In Baptism we are made part of the Catholic community.
What breaks your heart the most is not a tragedy that comes from evil sources, it's the evil that comes from once-trusted sources. Then again, maybe that's the definition of true tragedy.
Wow 😢
Jesus loves you
Wow!!!
Praise God! every weekend I look forward to Father Mike's homily. Always insightful and carried by Grace. Thank you!
So beautiful!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤😂
Wow. Do I need this perspective today and onward. Thank you God. I need to accept it and serve the LORD at the same time. Otherwise it means I don’t really trust God even though I know he says my ways are not your ways and my thoughts are not your thoughts.
I look like someone I know thanks. Somebody quite important.
❤️
Whoever you think you are, your one of them, there is all the stolen stuff, show angels,
😊
🕯💞💖✨️🙏
Hey Ascension: You have to publish these homilies. They can't just disappear into the UA-cam algorithm. They are just too extraordinary.
Well looks like our personal arguments are bigger than we think.
i need to watch more movies so I know what you're talking about
Haha
Tier 3
Question! What do you think of movies like Life of Brain? Thanks
🎯. 🙏🏼⚔️🛡🕊 🎣🪣
Otherwise-I think it goes with there is therefore now, no jew or greek, or rich or poor, male or female. And also God uses the foolish things to shame the wise(uranus)😅Enjoy your Holiday, meekly. Leviticus 23:31
You haven't gone too far? We don't exist.
You wouldn't even know what we are.
Who do you think you are?
Before time began John said he was not worthy to take the sandals from his feet.. So sorry the gifts of the Magi are not recognized because society is so racist 😢
This is not alright, the angels are getting their hands bound by them,
Is your chasuble from Alba of Poland?
Continuing to fight.... Was it an illness?
10 lbs. in a 5 pound bag !
Father Mike, I love your homilies, and I'm on Day 117 of BiY,. However there is just too much

Remarkable...is Fr. Mike! He speaks from the heart with the wisdom of the Holy Spirit. Isn't that remarkable?
@@lorrainecox7728 Yes he is! My post was a bit tongue in cheek.
Editor: stop the constant zoom in and out. It's really distracting
In taken, it's worthy to note that the ex-wife is a nightmare and doesn't respect him like she should.
It's a blessing that he's mostly rid of her. They blew it in the sequel, where I think they get back together Andy rescues her. He should have said good riddance. 😎
She's a nightmare.
Why are you telling me lies? Where is my stuff? Why are these angels hands bound?
Have you gone too far?
I don't have any share in your human lives.
We are not those people.
Father have you ever been told that you look like John Cena? 😂😂 cause I think you do
SO Very Good!!! ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹🙏🙏🙏
